Hmm..I reapplied yesterday (August 17th 2016) with my work permit, employment letter, pay slips, offer letter, T4, R1. Will have to wait again and see.

@neo_says/aman You all applied before July11th, so you should have received status update by now.

Just a brief update on my re-consideration:

Studied two separate programs from George Brown College and Humber College - 1 + 1 years but received 1 year PGWP!

Applied: May 14
Approved: June 3

Complained to CIC for re-consideration: June 6

Got email PDF of 3 year PGWP: September 3

Waiting for Mail copy to reach me..

Finally the unnecessary tension is over.

Word of advice:
1. Do not try flagpoling if you 1+1 programs
2. Write an LOE before the Transcripts otherwise you will have to call and wait for 3 months for them to rectify your validity of your PGWP!

Special thanks to @Riyas Siraj

PGWP is a Post Graduation Work Permit. So you can start working and extend your TRV till its end date. There is no more CEC category, you will have to apply through express entry for PR.
